Well, let's move, KJ.
Don't want to be late

on your first day.

Yep, I'm ready.

Hey, hold up, man.
I made pancakes.

Look, I know it's not
how your mom makes 'em,

but I wanted the first day
of school to feel like home.

Well, you need a home to
make it feel like one,

and this ain't it.

What happened to
"I'ma trust y'all"?

I'm dressed and ready
to go, aren't I?

Fine. We'll... we'll grab
something on the way.

I'll meet you in the car.

♪♪ I could care

I know how sudden
this move feel... hey.

♪♪ Pretty straightforward
with my business... ♪♪

I'm trying to talk to you here.

♪♪...play it safe, one life... ♪♪

Look, I know you're not happy
with the move, but you're gonna

chill with the disrespect
and the eye-rolling.

Yes, sir.

Look, we have an opportunity
here to build something great,

and it's gonna
work out. It is.

Now, you keep saying
that like you're trying

to convince yourself, too.

I'm good, man.

Dad, I can tell
when you're nervous.

You do that thing
with your neck.

I don't do anything with my...

All right,

if I'm keeping it a
hundred, I'm feeling

a bit of pressure,
all right? - Why?

Dad, you're a great
coach.

And you've got me.
I mean, I'm guessing

we're here to win, so
that's what we'll do.

Spoken like a true Jeremy.

Appreciate you, son.
This mean I can count

on you to be the leader
I need you to be, hmm?

If you do that, then I'll take
care of the boosters that'll be

breathing down my neck at
every turn for those wins.

Yeah, sure. I'll try.

Heh! You know, I was looking

for a little more
fire, but I'll take it.

You have a good day, hear?

"When I let go of what I am,

I become what I might be"?

What does that even
mean?

Well......
here goes nothing.

Oh.

I think I just
threw up my spleen.

Yummy.

Very attractive,
sweetheart.

Heh! I'm sorry, baby girl, it's
probably just food poisoning.

How? You ate the same thing.
You're perfectly fine.

This stomach is a steel trap
forged in the fires of spicy

corn chips, cold pizza, and
whiskey ragers. There you go.

So, is, um, is all
this nervous energy

about your dad's dedication
ceremony at Beverly?

No. I, uh, I'm actually
looking forward to it.

You know, plus, with
Mom stuck in Greece,

you know, Liv's gonna be
taking on all the heavy lifting

with the speech, so I just get
to show up, enjoy the show.

Then, uh... what's got all
your buttons in a tizzy?

Oh, damn it.

It's the
first day of school

- at South Crenshaw...
- Mm-hmm.

And suddenly, this
job feels so real.

And I just want to make sure
that Coach Bobby sees me

Well, you've already put

some respectable boundaries up
between you and the players.

- I'm sure he's noticed.
- Yeah.

I don't know. I just want to
be seen as an asset, you know?

I mean, our roster
is... it's locked, babe.

It's locked in with...
with most of the pieces

and the talent that we
need to have another run

at the championship,
and I... do not want

to be the coach that comes
in and screws all that up.

Jordan, you're gonna
be an amazing coach.

- Yeah? Hmm.
- Yeah.

I mean, you know
the game inside out,

you connect with people, you...

Hello?
Oh, my God. Oh!

- Liv's here, Liv's here!
- Why are you acting like

- you don't FaceTime every day?
- Babe, I got to go,

but you got this, OK?
Ooh, I'm so excited!

Thanks for the pep talk, babe.

Liv? Liv!

Again, you two literally

just FaceTimed
before the flight.

Oh, shut up and get over here.

Heh! It's good to see you.

Heh! Oh.

Was "douse" the only setting
on that cologne bottle?

Well, hey, you smell fine to me.

OK, tha... oh! Whoa,
whoa. Maybe we just, uh,

hold off on that till we get
a little mouthwash in there

from the whole puke of it all.

Heh! Yeah.

- That's fair, yeah.
- Cool.

- Well, listen, I love you
both... - Mm-hmm.

But I gotta go, I'll
see you at the dedication, and,

uh, I cannot wait to hear your
speech. Thank you for the nap.

Oh. OK.

We're not gonna tell
him his fly's open?

- No, no, we're not.
- OK.

So, what have I
missed since takeoff?

Um, I think I might be pregnant.

Impressive, right?

Coach Baker was one of one.

By the way, I... I don't
recall receiving your RSVP

for this afternoon's
dedication ceremony.

Must have slipped
my mind, Principal London.

I've been so focused
on the first day

of practice with my new team.

Well, it's a big day.
All the coaches from

the other athletic
departments will be there,

as well as some of our
biggest supporters.

I know how this
goes. I will be there

to do all of the schmoozing
with the boosters.

Oh, you don't need
to worry about them.

This is a young team who
lost a lot of seniors,

so no one expects
you to come right in

and bring home one
of those. Just...

get out there and do
your best this season.

- That's all we
ask. - Hmm.

Mm.

Your locker better be on fire
if you're checking your phone

while you're at the
table with company.

Company? It's
just Auntie Coop.

The only thing that's on
fire are these rejections.

This job search
is going nowhere.

I'm stopping by Layla's
crib when I leave here.

I mean, I can see if she needs
any help down at the lounge.

I feel like I owe you after...

I was your designated driver.

All right, come on with
the dry-snitching, OK?

I was talking about
this bountiful meal

that wasn't all that necessary.

It's your first day
of law school at GAU.

A celebratory breakfast
was more than necessary.

Mm-hmm.
Yeah, look, we got

grits, eggs,
biscuits, and bacon.

My baby cooked this breakfast
like somebody's grandma

with the flabby
arms.

- And it's all
delicious. - It is.

- We're proud of
you. - Thank you.

Look, you've come a long way

and, uh, you about to
do some amazing things.

I mean, we both
have, like, for real.

Who... who... who
thought we'd be here?

Try everybody. I mean,
the community's talking

about how Spencer James ain't
the only one making it out

and making us all
proud. You got next.

Right
here. Come on, now.

This is our time. It's our time.
Our season. Let's go, guys.

- Yeah.
- Yeah, boy.

All right, y'all.

Let's warm up.

Man, check this dude out, coming
out here like he runs things.

Well, considering
I'm the new QB,

running things is
exactly what I do.

Mm, we got royalty
around here. Coach's son.

That explains the power trip.

Man, ain't nobody
trippin' over nothin'.

It's work ethic. My
old team in Oakland

knew to lock in the moment
we stepped on this field.

Phones stayed in
the locker room.

Well, then maybe you
should go back to Oakland.

And maybe you should think
twice about poppin' off

at the dude who'll be
throwing you the ball.

Time for
practice. Line it up!

All right. Let's go.

Oh, my God,
I've been holding that

since the airport.

Uh, everything OK?

Yeah, yeah, no, it's
just my sponsee.

- OK.
- All good.

OK, so tell me why you
think you're pregnant

and not just the
victim of bad shrimp?

Mm, well, let's see, um, I'm
late, I've been throwing up

all morning, eating nonstop,
and peeing like a racehorse,

Mm.

- CoopDash is
here. - Hi.

Oh. Thank you.

- Ooh, you couldn't stay away.
- Ha ha!

Apparently not.

Oh, girl, we
just had a conversation

about your overachieving
ass, all right?

I mean, just 'cause you
a Baker now does not mean

you had to get a
bun in the oven.

I know, OK? And by the way,
Happy First Day of Law School.

Mm, Spencer and I
are so freaking proud of you.

But honestly, no one's
more proud than my mom...

Mm-hmm.
which is why she wanted

to pass down her
lucky briefcase.

- Oh, of course.
- Well, I got you

a muffin basket, but...
somebody got to it first.

What? I love this bakery,

and we can't get these
on the East Coast.

OK, here, let's do a toast.

To Coop and all

the badassery she's
gonna bring to GAU Law.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

Thank you. Cheers. Thank you.

Aren't you excited?

Uh... yeah, I'm just focused.

- Mm.
- That's all. Uh, as a matter

of fact, I'm gonna have
to eat this in the car

'cause I don't want to be
late to my first class.

- Heh!
- I love you all.

- Good luck.
- Thank you.

Well, speaking of
people being late,

- I suppose we should
get to it. - Hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Set, go!

Hey. We're good.

Run it again!

Coach, we're tired.
Maybe we call it

- till practice after school?
- We call it when y'all

get it right. I ain't got
all day. Run it again.

We shouldn't even be out
here. We're supposed to be

lifting right now, not
practicing until later.

What did you say
to me, young man?

We've been at this all morning.

The whole damn team is tired.

Y'all tired, huh?

OK, bring it in.

Let me ask y'all something.
Y'all want to win?

- Yes, sir.
- Y'all better open your mouths.

- Do you want to win?
- Yes, sir!

All right, listen up.

Forget all that rich,

privileged nonsense
y'all get fed daily

in these high-end hallways
or out on them fancy streets.

Forget your expensive cars,
your pool, your house help

waiting for you to get home
and cater to your every need,

'cause don't none of that crap
make one bit of difference

on this field!

On this field... heh! you
ain't in Beverly Hills no more.

Mm-mm. You're in my house.

My town. I'm the
one in charge.

Welcome to Cassius City.

Here, we find our limits,

we test them, and
we push past them.

Here, winners are born.

Here, you learn
respect for the game,

for your fellow
teammates and staff,

and for me, and if you
don't like living here,

move the hell out.

Run it again!

You made it! Day
one. You're here.

- I gotta keep my word, right?
- Ha ha ha! OK.

Aye, Khalil.

I know it's been a minute, bro,

so just let me know
if you need a map.

Oh, wait. I'm trippin', bro.

You been here so long,
you probably know

this place like the back
of your hand. Ha ha ha!

Ignore him.

You're doing the right thing.

I don't know about all that.

Come on. I'll
walk you to class.

You gon' walk me?

So what, you're
my protector now?

That's right. Yasi and
them don't want this smoke.

Oh! Excuse you. Aware much?

My bad. I'm just trying to
figure out where I'm going.

It's actually my first day.
I just moved here from...

- Oakland?
- Wow.

Guess I just got the
Bay written all over me.

No, but, uh, your hat does.

Oh, yeah. Heh!

Heh! Nice smile.

I'm Tori. Uh, if you want,
I can show you around,

give you the lay of the
land, the "who's who."

I'm KJ, and trust me, I already
got 'em all figured out.

Everybody here thinks that
they're an influencer.

Let's see.

Like right here, you have
your fashion influencers.

And over there are your gamers.

- Go, go, go, go!
- Come on! Kill him!

And your wellness influencers.

- Ha!
- Yeah.

Heh! Wow. Impressive.

Yeah. I mean, some might
say it's a superpower.

- I think it's more of a
gift. - Oh, OK, Oakland.

Well, since everybody here is
a wannabe influencer, do me.

What's my label? KJ: OK.

Well, based on the makeup

and this ring light
mirror thingy,

you're for sure a
beauty influencer.

Mm.

Must be nice knowing everything.

See you around, Oakland.

OK.

This year, we'll be
breaking down central themes

and elements within the
works of literature,

including poetry

and also hip hop.

So who here can give me
an example of a theme?

Khalil?

Um... Uh-oh.

Somebody don't know
what a theme is.

Shut up, Yasi, He
knows what a theme is.

Bro, didn't you
take this class last year?

It's the same
answers, bro, I swear.

Keep runnin' your mouth
and see what happen, bro.

Look, enough
of that, you two!

Khalil, take your time.

You know this.

Uh...

Main
idea of a story.

Oh, look, it's
Captain Save-a-Dummy!

Ha ha ha ha!

- Aye, aye, aye, aye!
- What's up, bro?

Hey, sit down! Sit down!

Preach, thank you
for reaching out.

I am sorry about this.
First day of school

and my starting quarterback is
already getting into fights.

- He started it.
- Nah, your running

your mouth started it.
I was finishing it.

Hey, and I told y'all both
to stay quiet 'cause I'll

Yasi, get your stuff.

You're gonna be cleaning
the weight room. Let's go.

Oh, oh, whoa, whoa.

Hold up. Uh, they're
both your problem now.

- No.
- Enjoy.

Prea... Preach, rea...

Great. Uh... Khalil,
you'll be cleaning

the weight room along
with us. Let's go.

- But it's my free period.
- Yeah, well, you should

have thought about that before
you threw that water bottle

across the room, and you
lucky you just barely

I ain't miss, bro.

If I wanted to hit you,
you would have been hit.

- Hey! Let's
go. - OK.

Hmm.

You better hurry up.
This ice cream is almost gone.

Oh.

Oh, my God. Layla:
Yep, you're, uh,

- gonna be an aunt.
- Oh! Oh, ho ho ho!

OK, wait, I'm sorry. I'm
sorry. Let me calm down.

How do you feel about this?
I mean, was it planned?

I don't know, uh,
and hell no. No.

- You should call Jordan.
- No, not yet. I have to wrap

- my head around this
and, um... - OK.

Are you free before the
dedication ceremony?

I'm... I'm just kinda freaking
out and I could really use

- the bestie time.
- I would love to,

except I have to go meet
up with my new sponsee.

This is, like, the only
time she has available.

Yeah, she's in L.A.
I can just tag along.

Um, normally, that would

be cool, but not...
not with this one.

Look, are you not hearing the
part where I'm freaking out?

We used to do this all the
time with Jenn. What makes

this sponsee so
special? - I know.

I can't get into it
right now, but, um,

let's do dinner instead,
OK? And I'll meet up

with you at the
dedication ceremony?

- OK.
- Oh. Oh, my God.

I'm so happy for you. Ho ho!

"Auntie Liv."

It has a nice ring to it.

OK, bye. Layla: OK.

What?

Aye, JB? Hmm?

That the Inglewood Trailblazers
game from last season.

Yep. Got 'em in
the season opener,

and I got to see what my
QB1 needs to tighten up on.

Man, I owned 'em last year.

This isn't a game tape.
It's a highlight reel.

Yeah? There's always
room for improvement.

- On 4 touchdowns?
- Could have been 5,

but, shh, uh-oh, somebody
didn't count the box

and anticipate the
blitz on third and long.

- Man, shut up.
- No, no, all I'm saying is all

you had to do was check out of
the run, hit your hot route,

and your receiver woulda
scored because, as you can see,

- there's no safety help.
- He's not wrong, Yasi.

But you know what? We will
talk about that later today

at practice. How do you
know so much about football?

- I used to play a little.
- Yeah? Why'd you stop?

I don't know. I just did.

OK, I, uh,

think I left my phone
in Preach's classroom.

I will be right back, fellas.

Yo, your girl Amina
don't play about you.

That's not my girl.
She just a friend.

I mean, I thought
she was gonna jump me

when I came after you.
She's a real one, for real.

Bro, you want to just
shut up and clean?

But for real, bro, I'm...
glad she's not your girl,

'cause she was definitely
doing some riding when me

and the boys had
her at the crib. Ha!

- Stop playing with me, bro!
- Hey, hey, hey, hey!

- Dude, I'll hurt you!
- Hey, hey, hey! What the hell!

What the hell! Get off
of him! Get off of him!

What is wrong with you? Do
you want to get kicked out

of school? Is that what it is?

Huh?

- Playing with me,
bro. - Hey, hey, hey.

I was just coming to check
on you before I head out

to the dedication.
Everything OK?

This whole school thing
was a stupid mistake.

Whoa, wait. Where
are you going?

Aye, they about to
kick me out anyway,

so I'ma do 'em a favor
and save some time.

Khalil.

Khalil!

Amina? Heh!

OK, you know that
whole "rescue me" text

was a joke, right? I mean,

not that I'm not happy
to see a friendly face.

Well, trust me, my
rescuing attempts

have already backfired
in other places today.

I'm actually just here for
Coach Baker's dedication.

- Hmm.
- But, anyway,

since I'm here, how bad
could your first day

be that you need rescuing
already, Kingston?

Man.

We can start off with my
first practice sucked,

OK, then add a layer
of my dad turned

into Denzel Washington
from "Training Day."

And to top it all off,
I think I offended

the first semi-friend
that I made, but I'm

- still not sure
how. - Damn.

That bad, huh?

I don't know. It's
just this place

is so different from Oakland.

Now I'm trying to adjust
and go with the flow,

but I just feel like the flow
keeps switching up on me.

I get it.

It was an adjustment for
me when we moved out here

from Philly, but I didn't
have to deal with high school

Yeah, I'm just trying

to make sense of everything,
including this quote

that my mom sent
me this morning.

I mean, it's supposed
to be inspirational,

but I have no idea
what it means.

Your mother sends you quotes?

Yeah, she gives me
one at the beginning

of every school year to be
the inspiration for the year.

Yeah, I know. It's corny.

No. I think it's... I
think it's very sweet.

I bet your mom is way cooler.

Um... my mother, uh...

she passed away.

Oh, I'm sorry.
I... I didn't know.

All good. Um, how
would you know?

I actually need to
go find Uncle Jordan.

Something went down today,
and I need to make sure

he's aware of it, so I'll
catch up with you later.

Hey, how about we meet up
at The Hangout after this?

I can make up for putting
my foot in my mouth.

Sure. That would be great.

Yeah, I don't know how
I expected my first day to go,

but breaking up a fight
between Yasi and Kahlil

definitely was not
on my wishlist.

I mean, they're just kids.

Babies, you know? They
need, um, guidance

and nurturing and things
we'd both be great at, right?

M-maybe.

I guess, yeah. Layla: Mm-hmm.

- Uh...
- Yeah. Ahem.

Where is Liv, by the way?
She should be here by now.

Mm, beats me. I got ditched
for a mystery sponsee.

Hey, have you
spoken to Khalil?

I have, yeah, yeah.
He got into a fight

with Yasi again, so I'm giving
him his next period, and then

- I'm gonna go talk to him.
- See, that's the problem.

He's not calming down.

He said he was done
with school and left.

You need to talk to
him, Uncle Jordan,

- before he does something stupid.
- OK, I will, I will.

I was just in the middle of
something with Layla here, so...

Actually, I have
to talk to Amina,

so BRB. Heh!

Um, Coop said you're looking
for a job? Let's talk.

Please leave a message.

Patience, listen,
I'm calling you back.

Look, I don't know what
is happening, but today

is not going at all the
way it's supposed to.

My nerves are on a hundred,
and I don't even know why.

Look, just call me back, please.

I wanted to talk to you
before I go to my first class.

Hey.

Are you... OK?

Yeah. I'm fine.

You're trembling,
you're sweating,

and you look like you're
having a hard time breathing.

I'm just a little winded
from the walk, that's all.

OK.

You're having a panic attack.

Try reciting lyrics to
a song to help calm you.

I appreciate the
concern. I'm fine.

Miss Mary, Mack,

Mack, Mack.

All dressed in
black, black, black.

Silver buttons...

buttons.

Can't believe it
actually worked.

Thank you.

Interesting song choice,
and you're welcome.

Absolutely.
Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

How'd everything
go with the boys?

Peachy. Just peachy,
yeah. Turned my back

for 10 seconds, and Khalil
tried to choke out Yasi, so...

- Damn.
- Yeah.

Yasi does have a way of
bringing it out of him.

I don't know why I
keep thinking I can get

through to Khalil, you know?

Maybe I should just
stick to coaching

and leave the mentoring to you.

Look, I brought you
into that situation

because he does listen to you.

Did you know that he
used to play football?

Yeah, yeah, uh, pee-wee,

Hmm.

I mean, he was nice, too,

but he quit because of his pops.

His dad didn't want
him playing or...

Khalil's pops is a wild dude.

Ah, he was just a BG
when I got locked up.

Already had a bad reputation.

I mean, he was a young father,

but he loved
watching Khalil play.

But he would come to the games
with some of his Crip homies,

acting belligerent
most of the time.

I'm talkin' cussing
out the coaches, refs,

other players,
gettin' into fights.

Yeah, I wouldn't
want to play, either.

But Khalil's a good kid.
He was just brought up

- in a rough situation.
- Hmm.

He just needs somebody
to believe in him...

just like I did.

Ahem.

So, no tequila shots

this time, huh? Layla:
Heh! I was hoping

- you wouldn't remember that.
- Well, my memory was

not the one we
were worried about.

- It's good to see
you. - You, too.

Uh, I am so sorry,
but, Dad, he's here.

- You have to meet him.
- Uh, yeah.

Coach Jordan.

Hey, KJ.

Good to see you. How you
doing? KJ: Heh! I'm good.

I'm good. Uh, this
is my dad, Cassius.

Dad, this is the Jordan Baker.

Easy, now. Jordan
Baker is more

than fine. We can
drop the "the."

Bruh, you have every
passing record at Beverly.

I suppose I do, don't I? Yeah.

You know what? You will be
breaking those very soon.

Yeah, maybe
if my teammates

- could catch the ball.
- Son, why don't you go

grab us some seats, huh?
Show's about to start.

OK, yeah, cool.
I got you, Pops.

Good kid.

Yeah.

Heh heh! Cassius:
Hey, congratulations

on that QB job at
South Crenshaw.

Congrats to you, too.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

As a former player
here, I got to say,

- best of luck this season.
- We don't need luck.

We're bringing the chip
back to Beverly this season.

All right, all right. I mean,
you gotta come through us first,

- you know what I'm saying?
- Yeah, that's the plan.

What is going on today?

I can't express how much of
an honour it is to dedicate

this gym to the late,
great Coach Billy Baker,

a man who I not only
valued as a coach,

but... also as a friend.

Sorry I'm
late. What'd I miss?

Uh, not much, just the guy
who, you know, constantly

tried to get Dad fired over
and over again, acting like

- they were best friends
forever. - Oh, hey, so,

um, for dinner, I
was thinking Persian.

Yes. Um, I'm just...

I'm gonna be, like,
a little bit late.

I'm sorry. I just...
I promised my sponsee

- that we would meet up
again. - Mm-hmm.

She's having, like, a
really hard time right now.

Well, lucky for her, she
has someone to depend on

Let this dedication

to Billy Baker be a reminder
to our various elite programs

to continue the
winning tradition

that Coach Baker
so deeply embodied.

Programs like track and
field, basketball...

both boys and girls...

and last, but
certainly not least,

our national
champion cheer squad.

Did he straight up

not mention the football
team in our own gym?

Uh-huh.
We are so very proud

of them all, but
right now, join me

in welcoming our
national champs,

the Beverly High
School Cheer Team!

Are you OK?

Um...

I don't know.

That's the semi-friend
I offended earlier.

I thought she was like
a beauty influencer,

but I guess she was
actually a cheerleader.

She's not just a cheerleader.

She was the cheerleader.

"Was"? And, wait,
you know her?

Everybody knows Tori.

People say it was an injury, but

whatever it was, she
never came back from it.

There is so much that I
could say about my dad.

I mean, that should be obvious,
considering I have written

a series of books about him.
Ha!

The school
was special to him.

It was the first place that
believed in him as a coach,

even if it did take a
little extra convincing

once he got here.

And he took
that opportunity

and he turned it into
a state championship

for Beverly and arguably,

for South Crenshaw, when
he took his talents there

and he faced off against
the powerhouse team

that he built here
the following year.

Shout out to the Chargers.

Son, you hear what
I'm hearing, right?

It's all about the Ghost
of Beverly Football Past.

Nobody is giving
our team a chance,

and it better be
pissing you off.

But one
thing is for certain,

and that is wherever
Billy Baker went,

he was a winner at
every single level.

As a player, as a coach,

as a husband, as a father,

and as a mentor.

There was not a single life
that came into his orbit

that he didn't have
a positive impact on,

no matter who they
were, and that,

that is by far his
greatest legacy.

So, on behalf of
myself, my brother,

and my mom, we say thank you

and we present to you officially

the Billy Baker
Athletic Facility.

Oh, so your
phone does work?

If I wanted you poppin' up on
me, I would've hit you back.

Then turn off your
location next time.

- What happened today?
- Nothing.

Just realised I was playin'
myself, thinking I belong there.

No, you took the easy way
out and quit on yourself.

You don't know what
you're talking about.

I know you made a
promise to yourself

about the type of
person you wanted to be.

A quitter ain't it because
you're better than that.

People love saying that, but
don't nobody really believe it.

Not JB, not your
dad, not even you.

- That's a bunch of nonsense.
- Is it?

You didn't even think I could
answer that question on my own.

Just jumped right in
like I was stupid.

I mean, I'm repeating
the 11th grade

because of my bad choices,
not because I don't know

what a damn "theme" is.

You're right. I'm sorry.

I did jump in, but not because
I didn't think you were smart.

Khalil, you're one
of the smartest

and kindest people that I know.

You deserve to have
the life that you want

to live, no matter
what anybody thinks.

And don't let anyone
convince you otherwise.

- You really believe that?
- I don't lie.

You're right.

I really appreciate you.

- Like, for real.
- Any time.

And you can show
your appreciation

by giving me a ride home.

I don't think your pops would
go for me sticking around.

He's fine, as long as he
can keep his eyes on you.

Those eyes are
scary, but I'm down.

- All right, let's go.
- Let's go.

Awww, Oakland,

your date left?
That must suck.

Heh! Looks like someone's
in a better mood.

I don't know what you're
talkin' about. Heh!

Hey, uh, I owe
you a big apology.

- It's...
- No, I... I do.

I had no idea you
were an athlete

and had to stop competing.

I made hella
assumptions about you

and everybody else at Beverly.

I just figured
everybody from Oakland

- was "hella" judgy.
- Heh heh!

Nope, just me.

I came here too focused
on trying to pick up

where I left off back
home, instead of trying

to figure out how I can fit in.

And in that process,
I insulted you

and made all my
teammates hate me.

Yeah. I'll leave you to it.
I just wanted to apologise.

Um...

people assume I quit cheer
because I got injured.

Lost my footing on a
pyramid, fell to the floor,

suffered a concussion,
plus 3 broken ribs.

- Jeez.
- I tried working my way

through it, but I developed
a case of the twisties.

- Hmm.
- Whenever I'd flip,

it was like my mind and
my body disconnected,

and I'd get
disoriented in the air.

- Yeah, like Simone Biles.
- Bingo.

There's no quick fix for it

- because it's all
mental. - Hmm.

You have to work
your way through it.

So you left the team.
I'm guessing it was hard

not being their ace
anymore, and worse,

watching them win
nationals without you.

OK, maybe you weren't
just full of assumptions.

It's clear that you
still love it, though.

I do, and I'd give anything
to be out there contributing.

If you love football as
much as I think you do,

don't let anything stop
you from being out there

on that field with
your teammates.

- Find a way to connect
with them. - I tried.

Yo, my team in
Oakland was different.

I mean special, and
these guys, they aren't

half as good, but they're
out there goofing off,

and I'm only stepping
in as a leader.

I'm trying to push them
to make them better,

especially knowing that
no one believes in us.

Newsflash, you ain't
in Oakland anymore.

It's time to let that go.

And before being their
leader, you should try

being their teammate.

Oh. My time's up.

You gonna be OK?

I think so. I mean, it's
my first day at law school.

I guess my nerves just
got the best of me.

Girl, the hardest
part about law school

is getting in. You're here.

That's just it.

I mean, for the first
time, I'm not the underdog.

I guess that kinda threw me.

First-day nerves are normal.

We just can't let it get in
the way of our greatness.

What if it's more than
just first-day nerves?

You know, I had this
professor in undergrad

who was adamant that
I didn't belong,

- and I proved him
wrong... - Hmm.

But now I gotta deliver on that.

Listen to me.

You're not here by luck.

You're here 'cause you
worked your ass off,

and you deserve it. And
if your old professor

or even this new
one can't see that,

Yes! They can all go to...

each and every one of
'em can go to hell!

Look, thank you.

Thank you for talking
me off the ledge.

I guess I'ma finally...
hit this class.

My pleasure.

I'm headed to torts.

Where you going?

I'm teaching torts, so I
guess I'm going to hell.

Hello.

Hey.

Hey, baby girl.

So, hey, uh... Layla: Hmm?

Did something happen
between you and Liv?

Yes, just, uh, stuff
going on, and I was hoping

I'd have my bestie there
to help me through it,

but she ditched me
for some stranger.

- Isn't she seeing her sponsee?
- This was really important, too.

And she's also being
extra secretive,

- which is weird,
and... - OK, OK,

well, I'm sorry, but I'm here.

- Hmm.
- You can talk to me.

Um... yeah, uh, later.

I want to hear how your
official first day was.

OK, it was, uh...

it was intense.

- Hmm.
- Yeah,

and now I'm trying to
figure out where we might

have extra space on the roster.

- I thought the roster was set.
- That was before

I knew Khalil played football.

There is just something
about this kid...

and I want to help him out.

- You think this is the answer?
- I dunno,

- but it's a start.
- Then good.

Well, how does Coach Bobby feel
about you recruiting Khalil?

He doesn't.

Oh...

Yeah!

- That's what I'm talking about!
- Nice!

Hey, taping the phone to
the ball was kinda genius.

Yo, I told y'all
it would look cool.

Yo, we going to the next
level one way or another!

Come on! Team: Yeah!

Uh, fellas, bring it in.

Listen, uh... I was wrong.

I was wrong for how I came
at y'all this morning.

I assumed that y'all didn't
want it as bad as I do,

but after the way this
team went unacknowledged

at the dedication, and I
saw the looks on your faces,

I realised how wrong I was.
They spent that entire ceremony

talking as if Beverly's
football glory days are

a thing of the past,
as if you don't have

the talent or the grit
to play winning football.

There was nobody outside of
this team that believes in us

or thinks we have
a chance in hell.

But you know what?

They're wrong, and we gonna
keep provin' 'em wrong,

all the way to the
state championship.

It is us against everybody,

and I'ma need y'all
to trust the process.

- Can y'all do that?
- Yes, Coach.

- I said, can y'all do that?!
- Yes, Coach!

A'ight, huddle up.
"Trust" on 3! 1, 2, 3!

Trust!

Get out there, man.

What happened?

Your little sponsee
blow you off?

Uh, uh, Elle... Elle Grant.

Elle, this is my bestie, Layla.

Elle was kind enough to give
me a ride home after dinner.

Hi! So nice to meet
you. Can I use your bathroom?

We went a little bit too
hard on the mocktails.

See, that's why I went
twice before we left.

- Bathroom's right
there. - Oh, cool.

That's why you were
being so secretive.

You are sponsoring Elle Grant?

We... we used to blast her
music all the time as kids.

Her posters lived
on my teen walls

before she lost her mind
with that stupid post.

Yes, I mean, I just...

I couldn't violate
her privacy, and plus,

I know how you feel
about her, even though

she was only 18 when
all of that happened.

But as someone in recovery,
she really needs my help,

and I'm sorry that it
came off like I was

keeping secrets or
blowing you off.

- Oh, Jordan and his big mouth.
- It's a blessing and a curse,

but I should have figured
out a way to be there

for you, too. I'm sorry.

Ooh, thanks for that.

Uh, just a heads up.

There's a pregnancy
test kit on the sink.

Oh, I can't believe I left that
out. Jordan could have seen.

Just a heads up... that
company had a massive recall

on all of its
pregnancy test kits.

False positives
popping up everywhere.

H-how, uh, how do you know that?

I became a news junkie
after I was canceled

by the music biz, needed
something to fill the time.

Layla, it was so nice
to meet you. Liv...

- Bye.
- Bye. I'll see you soon.

Uh, I'm just...

"Hey, Oakland, if you're
gonna be a teammate,

you gotta look like one.
- Tori."

Heh!

When I let go what I am,

I become what I might be.

Well, Dad, we did it.
We survived the day. Heh!

But we did more than
survive the day, son.

We launched a new beginning,
for us and this team.

Nice hat. Come on.

Negative. Negative.

OK, negative.

How many times are you
gonna double-check these?

I'm just making
sure.

Is it bad that I'm relieved?

Like life-flashed-
before-my-eyes relieved?

No, there's nothing to
feel guilty about at all.

- You weren't ready.
- No, I wasn't.

I mean, motherhood is
definitely in the cards

for one day, just...
not right now.

Well, you do not have to
move on anyone's schedule

but your own, 'cause you're
loving and you're caring,

and when the time comes,
you're gonna be an amazing mom.

But until then, um,

you're just gonna have to settle

for being an amazing aunt.

Wait. Oh, my God. What?

Well, you were
describing your symptoms,

and it got me
thinking about my own.

And I'm late, I'm peeing a lot,

and I'm also eating,
like, nonstop.

- Oh, and Jordan's cologne.
- Exactly,

- so I took a test.
- Oh, my God.

I'm so happy for you.

Well, wait, are...
are... are you ready?

Yeah. Yeah, I am.

OK, well, I'm gonna
give you some privacy.

I know you're very
excited to make this call.

OK.

Hey, babe. Uh... heh!

You're gonna want to

So we started
walking. Heh heh! I'm like,

"Where are you going?"
She's like, "Oh,

I'm your new professor, so
I guess I'm going to hell."

I said, "Uh..."

"What?" Ha ha ha!

But on the real,
how was the day?

I mean, honestly, it was
better than I expected.

Look,
I'll grab the door...

- OK.
- 'cause I gotta head out anyway.

- All right.

Khalil...

that's for you.

Um...

look, uh...

I know what this
is about, and...

I'm sorry for how I
handled things earlier.

Look, I let dude get in
my head, and I took things

- to a place I shouldn't have.
- What kind of future

do you want? Khalil:
I want to be alive.

I'm not trying to be
another statistic,

dead or locked up before I'm 21.

Well...

Khalil, you have... something
very special in you.

Something worth fighting
for. And if you are willing

to trust me...

I want to help you
achieve things you haven't

even considered were
even possibilities.

What would you say if

I wanted you to
come play for me?

That you're crazy.

Ain't no way in hell Coach
Bobby wants me anywhere

You let me worry

about Coach Bobby.

You in? Khalil: You
know, just today,

someone reminded me
of my self-worth.

That I deserve more.

Well?

Yeah. Yeah, Coach.

- I'll come play for
you. - OK.

OK, OK. Good deal.

Greg, move your head!
